  • Combining Banking with Private Equity Investing*
    Unstable Equity? * Combining Banking with Private Equity Investing First draft: April 14, 2010 This draft: July 30, 2010 Lily Fang INSEAD Victoria Ivashina Harvard University and NBER Josh Lerner Harvard University and NBER Theoretical work suggests that banks can be driven by market mispricing to undertake activity in a highly cyclical manner, accelerating activity during periods when securities can be readily sold to other parties. While financial economists have largely focused on bank lending, banks are active in a variety of arenas, with proprietary trading and investing being particularly controversial. We focus on the role of banks in the private equity market. We show that bank- affiliated private equity groups accounted for a significant share of the private equity activity and the bank’s own capital. We find that banks’ share of activity increases sharply during peaks of the private equity cycles. Deals done by bank-affiliated groups are financed at significantly better terms than other deals when the parent bank is part of the lending syndicate, especially during market peaks. While bank-affiliated investments generally involve targets with better ex-ante characteristics, bank-affiliated investments have slightly worse outcomes than non-affiliated investments. Also consistent with theory, the cyclicality of banks’ engagement in private equity and favorable financing terms are negatively correlated with the amount of capital that banks commit to funding of any particular transaction. * An earlier version of this manuscript was circulated under the title “An Unfair Advantage? Combining Banking with Private Equity Investing.” We thank Anna Kovner, Anthony Saunders, Antoinette Schoar, Morten Sorensen, Per Strömberg, Greg Udell and seminar audiences at Boston University, INSEAD, Maastricht University, Tilburg University, University of Mannheim and Wharton for helpful comments.

I quickly realized I actually wanted to work inside the technology industry. So while still in my twenties, I found a role at Microsoft, where I had the opportunity to work directly with top executives including CFOs Greg Maffei and John Connors, and CEOs Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer among others. I was tasked with leading some strategic projects, ranging from Software as a Service to Open Source Software, which shape my thinking even today. I was also given the opportunity to lead internet infrastructure investments within a nascent corporate ventures effort. I led investments in Akamai (IPO), InterVU (sold to Akamai), and iBeam (IPO) among others. In 2004, Viacom recruited me to lead strategy and business development.

  • Limited Partnerships and Private Equity Alexander Corrie
    Limited Partnerships and Private Equity Alexander R. Corrie The concept of the limited partnership is not entirely new to Jamaica, as legislation has provided for the creation of these entities for over 150 years. However, the Partnerships (Limited) Act, 1853 has been found wanting in a number of key respects, particularly as it relates to the necessities and intricacies of the modern commercial landscape. The newly enacted Partnership (Limited) Act, 2017 has introduced a new regime, which includes several novel forms of limited partnerships as well as a more defined set of rules which govern their formation and operation. Many of these rules facilitate the effective utilization of the limited partnership as an investment vehicle. For many years, the limited liability company has been the vehicle of choice for most entrepreneurs seeking to operate businesses, as well as for many investors using that structure to acquire, hold and sell assets. This is due in no small part to liability protection, separate legal personality and other benefits afforded to shareholders under the company law regime. In contrast, the suitability and effectiveness of a traditional partnership as an investment vehicle is limited, as each individual partner potentially faces unlimited personal liability for the debts of the partnership. Unlike traditional partnerships, which are comprised simply of partners, a limited partnership consists of general partners and limited partners, and there must be at least one person in each category. There is a clear delineation between these roles, whereby general partners are responsible for the firm’s management, while limited partners are forbidden from taking part in the management of the partnership business and do not have the power to bind the firm.
